Steve Madden's "Bukled" = Ick

Let me just first say I'm a HUGE Steve Madden fan. I own tons of his shoes, including four versions of my favorite shoe, the lovely and delicate Loucee Pump. Yet I think every so often a designer stumbles, and this shoe called "Buckled" is evidence of this. I am all for pushing the envelope of fashion, but this is a clown shoe, pure and simple. Why? I must ask. Why stray from making stylish women's shoes, and create something like this? What IS this?

Am I overreacting? Thoughts?

Maybe I'm just crabby from another fruitless evening of searching for that ever-elusive black A-line skirt that haunts my very soul. I'm so tired of looking I'm about to give up. But then I get mad and keep looking even harder.

And then I see this shoe and I get really annoyed. Well, I better close the laptop for now. Nothing but bad vibes are coming from these fingers tonight!

Have a question for the Magic 8 Ball?

An Ode to this Fine Day

It is a sunny dayAnd the walls in here are grayI cannot bear to missA day as fine as thisMy thoughts do tend to wanderAs I grow so ever fonderOf the endless skies of blueOver trees of emerald hueAnd the birds that sing so fairWhile the breeze toussles my hairAnd the grass beneath my feetWith flowers that smell so sweetSo if you wouldn't mindAnd tend to think in kindMay we venture out the doorTo enjoy the day once more?
